Lasest From, Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 10.-There have
been but few legislative developments to-
night, both sides carefully keeping their own
counsel, and it is difficult to ascertain what
is anticipated for tomorrow. The senate
will assemble at 10 O'Clock, and it is under
stood tonight, though it cannot be stated as
an ascertained fact that Mr.. Robertson will
be refused admittance to the chamber. An
other rumor is that no opposition will
be offered in case he appears ON the floor of
the senate, but that any attempt on his part
to take his seat as presiding officer of the
body will be resisted 1t is said Robertson
does not anticipate resorting to force; that he
considers his legal status as lieutenant gov
ernor fully established by to-day's proceed
ings, and will quietly await the solution of
the problem.

SPEAKER MER1. AN.
Does Not rOmise Well.

Sleepy Eye Herald.
The election of Merriam, a man whose
training, associations and prejudices are di-
rectly opposed to those of the farmer, does
not promise well for the work to be done this
winter. Unsophisticated people are wonder
ing why the members representing
agricultural committees, forming as
they did the majority of the Re-
| u llican legislative caucus, should have
nominated st. Paul banker for speaker of
the house. There are members who advance
the statement that Merriam will do as well as,
Or better for the farming interests than any
one ete 1t may be so, but it is hard to be-
lieve it, and very few intelligent farmers
will believe that they can be best represented
by WEALTHY ST. Paul banker.
